About the Role 

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Catalyst Scientist to support the development of next-generation catalytic materials. This team member will play a key role in catalyst formulation, synthesis, testing, and characterization. The role involves working closely with cross-functional teams to design experiments, analyze data, and develop innovative solutions for catalytic applications. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Design and synthesize catalyst materials, including active phases and supports, using various wet chemistry and solid-state synthesis techniques. 
• Develop and execute test protocols for catalyst evaluation using fixed-bed reactor systems or other relevant setups. 
• Perform catalyst characterization using techniques such as: 
  • Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and other specialty analytical equipment to achieve catalyst understanding. 
  • Temperature-Programmed Reduction/Oxidation (TPR/TPO) 
  • Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET) 
  • X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) 
• Conduct Design of Experiments (DoE) to optimize synthesis and performance parameters. 
• Analyze experimental data using tools such as Excel, Python, JMP, or similar. 
• Maintain accurate and detailed lab notebooks and data records.  
• Collaborate with other scientists and engineers on catalyst development, lab safety and process improvement. 
• Ownership of equipment relevant to job duties. 
• Present findings and recommendations in team meetings and technical reports. 

Qualifications 

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a closely related discipline 
• Strong foundation in metal oxide chemistry, including structure-property relationships, reaction mechanisms, surface and bulk transport mechanism 
• Hands-on experience with catalyst synthesis and characterization techniques. 
• Skilled in critical review of scientific literature and translating insights into new experimental approaches. 
• Demonstrated problem-solving ability and independence in a laboratory setting. 
• Familiarity with Design of Experiments (DoE) and process optimization strategies. 
• Proficient in data analysis tools: Microsoft Excel, Python, Origin, or equivalents. 
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to work effectively in cross-disciplinary teams. 
• Knowledge of lab safety protocols, chemical handling, and good laboratory practices. 

Pay and Benefits

• The salary range for this position is $80,000-$110,000 depending on market, skills, and experience.  
• Health, vision and dental insurance packages are available. 
• Comprehensive benefits package.
